What's Next for 'Hamilton' and Its Stars: New Cities, Disney and a Documentary

The hit Broadway musical opens in Chicago, California and London as Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr. and Phillipa Soo move on to other projects after their final performance on July 9.

The hip-hop musical Hamilton already has set the Broadway box office on fire — $81.9 million in tickets sold in 49 weeks — and swept the Tony Awards with 11 wins, but with three of its stars leaving the cast this summer, including lead actor/composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, what does it mean for the blockbuster's future?

Global expansion tops the list as casting nearly is done for a Chicago production set to open in October and feature a few familiar faces, teased Miranda during a Periscope Q&A on June 21 ("It's all new, folks, but you'll know some of them," he said). Also on deck: a touring production with 21-week runs in both San Francisco and Los Angeles that begins in March 2017, followed by a London debut.

Beyond the stage, a 90-­minute documentary from PBS' Great Performances, titled Hamilton's America, will air Oct. 17, and a Hamilton mixtape featuring various cuts of the show's songs is slated for a fall release on the Atlantic Records label.

But first, one final all-star ­performance on July 9, for which ticket prices are inching past $12,000 apiece. Only the stars' significant others have secured seats.

The magic of Hamilton's ­original cast will live on however, as RadicalMedia filmed two performances last week. How the archival footage eventually will be released has yet to be determined, but at least, says Miranda, "the room where it happens" will be captured for all to see.
